Editorial Correspondence
TERRY, Montana, July 10. This place wasn't on our
itinerary. Neither was a cloudburst and flood shortly after
midnight. It is now nine-thirty a. m. and the crack- train of
the Northern Pacific, the "West Coast Limited" has been stand
ing here with steam up for nine hours.
e e e e
How much longer we shall remain here no one seems to
know. There is a washout ahead and another one behind, which
makes it difficult to ro far in either direction. Which is rather
too bad, for the Milwaukee tracks are only a few hundred
yards away and tnere is a spur tracn 10 mem west 01 me
washout.
Terrv lias a railroad station,
leaks like a sieve, a general Btore and about half a dozen houses.
This is a cattle and sheep country, but a native at the station
who was flooded out of his home last night and was drying
himself in the sun, says most of them were shipped out last
year, when everytning was as ary, as it is wci now. une can
see the bare rocky cliffs of the Yellowstone river about half a
mile to the north, and the bare table land behind. The Yellow
stone however has not overflowed its banks, in fact it hasn't
reached the danger point. Not the river but the sudden cloud
bursts caused the trouble, too much water falling in too short a
time, and the culverts too small to take care of the runaway.
So the water went over the tracks, swept away the road bed,
and nearly drowned the brakeman who had to walk back in
the deluge, to flag any approaching train. He too was sunning
himself at the station, with his water drenched shoes and socks
out to dry on the wooden platform.
After that dash from Chicago
West Coast Limited as it moved slowly out of the station yester
day morning, seemed cumbersome, snail like and antiquated
as a stage coach. When we waited at a little station in Minne
sota for the train from Duluth one day coach, in which was
one passenger for Seattle, the contrast between modern and
old fashioned transportation appeared even more depressing.
However during the night we made up that time, passed the
Yellowstone Comet which had gone ahead on schedule, and
would have been the other side of Billings, Montana now if
the elements hadn't decreed otherwise. However it is better
to be roasting here in the sun, than in the ditch or perhaps
the nearest hospital which was the fate of the passengers on
the Great Northern Empire Builder, north of here less than a.
week ago, when the engine hit
- -
This train is air-conditioned
it is standing still. A young
survpvinor crew for the U. S. Geodetic survey, also flooded out
early this morning from a sod hut to the ncuth, says it was
302 in the shade here yesterday and very humid. It seems in
his work, allowances have to be made for expansion and con
traction so they carry centrigrade thermometers on their tran
sits. The temperature he reports therefore comes near being
official. Not so good.
We arc now over nine hours late and will be lucky to reach
Seattle before dark tomorrow night. We were due there about
8:30 tomorrow morning. However we have a good diner, and
very geuinl dining car steward, and after tomorrow morning,
we eat on the Northern pacific. So there will be compensations,
particularly for the young man from Memphis who has been
eating out of a paper bag all the way.
We spent several hours in Minneapolis and went to the top
of the Foshay tower to see the city. The country is dotted with
lakes like a cake with raisins. There are lakes in the city limits
with beautiful narks around them, and lakes outside. A very
beautiful citv and beautiful country. The Foshay tower serves
as rather an ironical reminder of the 192!) boom days. Foshay
wo believe is taking a long rest in some federal prison for his
peculations and financial manipulations, a man of the Tnsull
type without the Insull shrewdness or good fortune. In tho
lobby is a very handsome bust of George Washington with the
information that the Foshay tower is a testimonial to the Father
of his country. A testimonial to the man who could never tell
a liel
Railroads are all alike. Ever since daylight the report has
been we will be on our way in an hour or two. It is now ten
fifteen, about H0t). in the shade, outside of the car and in,
and we are still here. The children of Terry however are having
a good time. They are propelling hastily constructed rafts
around their back yards, building dams and enjoying a sort ot
Venetian holiday in general. Two kids in a wash tub with a
big yellow farm dog, jumping beside and now and then forced
to swim a few strokes, comprises a diverting spectacle. It isn't
so diverting for the father of the family who is wading through
water up to his knees, carrying chickens from the barn to the
house. A kind father certainly, letting the boys have their fun
while he does the dirty work.
A long freight train on the Milwaukee has just pulled in from
the west, and word comes they are held up by washouts also.
A good time for the mayor of Terry to take the census!

Harry L. Hopkins, who hopes sojn

FROM BEER
amounts of fat, protein or carbohy
drate from oxidation. So there you
have the fattening effect of moderate
or occasional drinking.
A glass of beer Is equivalent to, say,
' of a glaas of milk. One propa
gandist for alcohol asserted that a
highball Is equivalent to a plate of
ham and eggs in nutritive value, but
I think we must discount that by
one good slice of ham. Say It Is
equivalent to a hired man size slab
of apple pie.
Compared with sugar or starch,
which yields 4 calories to the gram,
and protein which yields 4 calories to
the gram, and fat which yields 9.4
calories to the gram, alcohol yields 7
calories to the gram. On estimating
the "fattening" effect of beer, wine
or liquor, we must always bear in
mind the strictly limited capacity of
the body to oxidize and utilize alco
hol In place of real food or body fat.
It makes those who are already fat
fatter and flabbier, but those who
need to gain had better Interest them
selves In foods the body can utilize.

The only eatable that does not agree
with me is water-melon. But I give It
a whirl once a year and sit up all J
night puffed and groaning. I ve ne
er seen the widely pressagented Jock
and Liz Whitney or heard Lily Pons
sing. Most remembered breakfast cof
fee: At the Kalserlne Augusta Vic
toria at Weimar. I own the percolator
now. I look more the fool than usual
in a straw hat.
Another low uprising: The daisy is
now the fashionable flower. Old tim
lest looking New York suburb: Flush
ing. And it's charming. Heap o" llvin'
suburb: Jackson Heights. Mrs. Mar
garet Emerson Is Ve best dressed
rlrtgslder at Important prize fights.
Favorite taste: chocolate. Whenever
I see a "Must Vacate" sale sign I be
lieve it. People with undershot Jaws
fascinate me. Most expert dinner or
derers amone the writing clan: The
late Karl K. Kitchen. For 13 years I
lived at the Rltz and never felt Justi
fied in making a single complaint.
And that, my friends, is hotellng!
